The author and TV presenter explained why he chose to defend the Masterchef judge
Richard Osman has apologised for previously defending Gregg Wallace . Author and former Pointless star Richard, 54, says he is sorry after he 'stuck up' for the Masterchef host. Richard was speaking on the The Rest Is Entertainment podcast he hosts with Marina Hyde. He says on a previous show he defended Wallace after the 'Inside The Factory' presenter was accused of being dull over a day in the life interview.
He said: “I want to apologise for any offence that I caused with my post yesterday and any upset I may have caused to a lot of people. I wasn’t in a good headspace when I posted it, I’ve been under a huge amount of stress, a lot of emotion, I felt very alone, under siege yesterday when I posted it. Last Thursday, it was announced that Wallace is to step away from the hit BBC cooking show while historical misconduct complaints are externally reviewed by the producer Banijay UK. Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy has since held talks with BBC bosses in the wake of the Wallace investigation.
“And he’s always full of charisma. And that front of camera charisma is always something that continues into off-screen as well”, he said. New episodes of MasterChef: The Professionals, in which Wallace is a judge, will air on BBC One on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings, with the current series airing as planned.
